Hello! I'm curious if anyone has tried similar ideas to what you described. You mentioned wanting your secondary monitors to appear black only when a fullscreen app is active, not when they're off. You're open to suggestions but prefer the current look. I'm also exploring options like hiding the taskbar and using a dark background, but I'd like to stick with the existing setup. Do you know of any tools or settings that could help achieve this? I've experimented with a static black image in fullscreen during games, but I'm looking for a more dynamic solution.

Turn off the monitor or press Win+P to hide the display. Which is the simplest option?

I believe disabling the secondary option is the optimal choice. This approach boosts performance, especially in games. Even without a monitor on, the system might still try to force it. Similarly, setting it to black can help. If performance is your goal, turning off the monitor is the best strategy.
